1900 France Entry Ticket Universal Exposition Of 1900 Admission Ticket One Franc UsedThe Exposition Universelle de 1900 was a world's fair held in Paris from April 14 to November 12, 1900. The fair celebrated the achievements of the past century and showcased the world's greatest achievements from the century before. The fair featured flying machines, the Grande Roue ferris wheel, diesel engines, talking films, escalators, and the first magnetic audio recorder. The fair welcomed 50 million visitors. A voucher for 20 francs from 1900 gave the right to 20 admission tickets to the fair. The main entrance to the fair was the Porte Monumentale, a controversial structure on the Place de la Concorde. Ticket booths were located beneath the grand arch of the Porte Monumentale. The fair was the largest and last of five Expositions held in Paris in the 19th century. Many of the buildings constructed for the exhibition were demolished after the fair was over. WikipediaThis Is An Original Admission Ticket Stamp For The Exposition Universelle De 1900 (Universal Exposition Of 1900) Held In Paris, France, Beautifully Printed In Pale Blue By The Parisian Printing House Imprimerie Chaix. The Design Combines Classical Allegory With Architectural Splendor, Featuring At Center The Grand Palais And The Pont Alexandre III, Two Of The Exhibition’s Most Famous Constructions. On The Left, A Laureated Female Profile Represents Marianne, The Embodiment Of The French Republic, Symbolizing Art, Progress, And Liberty. This Particular Example Is Distinguished By The Violet Control Mark In The Right Margin Reading “Carl Miller Nfgr. B. Burchardt.” The Abbreviation “Nfgr.” Stands For The German Word “Nachfolger,” Meaning “Successor.” Therefore, The Mark Translates To “Carl Miller’s Successor, B. Burchardt.” This Indicates That The Firm Of B. Burchardt Had Taken Over Or Was Acting As The Successor To The Business Originally Founded By Carl Miller. Archival Trade Records From The Late Nineteenth And Early Twentieth Centuries Confirm That “Carl Miller Nachfolger B. Burchardt” Was A German-Language Printing, Lithographic, Or Stationery Concern That Operated As A Representative Or Distributor For Exposition Materials And Souvenirs. Firms Bearing Similar Marks (“Nachfolger”) Commonly Appeared On Tickets, Labels, And Promotional Ephemera Associated With Major International Expositions Between 1890 And 1910. While The Exact Location Of This Particular Firm Is Not Fully Documented, Its Germanic Form Suggests That It Operated Either In Germany Or In The Austro-Hungarian Market, Supplying Or Managing Printed Goods For Delegates And Exhibitors Attending The Paris Exposition. The Ticket Bears The Serial Number “0.375.840.” The Reverse Side Displays A Finely Detailed Guilloche Pattern Incorporating The Year “1900” And The Profile Of Marianne, Demonstrating The Exceptional Engraving Quality Typical Of Daniel Dupuis And Georges Duval, The Artists Credited At The Lower Margin. The Exposition Universelle De 1900 Marked The Height Of The Belle Époque, Celebrating Scientific And Artistic Progress Through Grand Architecture, Including The Grand Palais, Petit Palais, Pont Alexandre III, And The Gare D’Orsay. It Showcased New Technologies Such As Moving Walkways, Electric Lighting, And Early Automobiles, Reflecting France’s Leadership In Modern Culture And Industry.
